Default What tires should I buy?

I need new tires on my '04 S4. Just curious as to what tires have worked best for everyone on their Audis.

rubber compounds are prefered around here.......



haha, but in all seriousness, you arent going to get much of an answer. with the quattro, you are going to be able to make bad tires seem much better than they are, and good tires will seem great! its up to what you want, road sound, performance level, wear, ect. Personally i have Pilot Sports, they are awesome, quite for a directional tread, and super grippy, but also expensive and not the best wear. Just pick whatever is in your budget that meets your needs....search tirerack.com to find something you in your range.
